Because the head is hollow it doesn't weigh that much. It's lighter than a cell phone and the same weight as many of the baby toys we have. I think it looks so big because my baby was only 2 months old in the picture and is on the small size. My wife, who is very careful about such things, has no concerns with the size or weight if this rattle. This could also be scaled down even further for those who want to make it even lighter.

Yeah, making them a weapon as a toy might not have been the best idea. Oh well.

I understand your concerns and if anyone else has concerns then they should definitely not make this. No one should give anything to their kid that they are concerned about their kids safety with it. But, I will be giving this to my kid because I do not share these concerns for the following reasons. First off, the insides of any rattle will have components that are smaller than the dimensions you state above. I just plan on keeping an eye on their toys to make sure if they look like they are failing then I will trash them or fix them.Secondly, because the head is hollow it is not too overly heavy. It's not any heavier or harder than many of the plastic/wood toys that we currently have that are made for babies. You just need to give it to them at a time when they can handle it.I think i...

I will sometimes state the major concerns in the instructable but if someone's concerns aren't there then I am more than happy to discuss them in the comments. No concern is a stupid concern, it just might not apply to everyone.

Sorry I didn't reply to your earlier question. I am actually planning on remaking this so that it is freestanding but as of right now I have lots of other projects ahead of it. But my recommendation would be to make a table similar to this one, https://www.instructables.com/id/Console-Table/, without the middle shelf so that the bike could fit in that empty space. You would need to modify the dimensions to make enough room for the bike you are using. But hopefully that could get you started.

Neat Idea. What if you created a joystick apparatus that sat on top of the remote syringes so that tilting the joystick would compress one of the syringes thus tiling the maze in that direction. Individually messing with four syringes seems like it would take too long as the balls tend to roll pretty fast.

I would have do disagree with your definitions. I see where you are coming from but they are not technically correct. A labyrinth is usually referred to as a maze with no dead ends and a maze is a labyrinth with dead ends. Unless you go by the dictionary definition in which case labyrinth and maze can be used interchangeably.I chose to use both because this style of game was originally called labyrinth but it has also been called a ball maze. So I just combined the two for the name of this.

There are a lot of things you can make with your sous vide machine but I highly recommend everyone try making steak with it. It is by far my favorite way to make steak. Set the water temp to 130F (medium rare), add any seasonings to the bag with the steak (you really only need salt and little pepper but some herbs and garlic can help), cook for an hour or two depending on the thickness of the meat, and then finish it with a quick sear in a skillet or the grill. It's super easy and I've had people tell me it's the best steak they have ever had. Just try and get a half decent cut of steak, you can only do so much with the grade and cut of steak you get.Chicken is also highly recommended. Sous vide prevents any chance of drying it out.

That method works for ABS plastic. You use acetone vapor to smooth out the prints. That wouldn't work for me because I used PLA plastic. There is no good way to smooth PLA except for sanding or using some sort of filler. But definately an option for anyone using ABS.

Thank you. Yes, the frisbee was printed up side down. I did this because it it required less support structures. Even with the supports there were some loose strands that didn't attach well. This didn't effect the function but because I didn't want them I sanded the top to make it smooth and remove any loose strands. You could print it right side up but it would require more supports and the underside would have some loose strands. But that way the top would be better.

Using Cream and cornstarch is a valid option if you want a cheesecake that has the milky taste that cream brings and the thickness and texture that cornstarch adds. I believe that the cooking method (Sous Vide) and having lids on them both prevent the cracking. Cooking in a temperature controlled water bath prevents them from getting too hot and cracking and the lid prevent any direct heat on the top which I believe also contributes to cracking. But this method only really work well for small cheesecakes. I also had a wet crust when I tried to cook in a water bath using a spring form pan. I believe this is just because the spring form pan isn't sealed well enough along the bottom and water can get into the crust. I haven't tried messing around with cooking in a spring form pan in a whil...

I haven't tried messing around with cooking in a spring form pan in a while because these small mason jar one's are great for having a cheesecake bar when having people over. I imagine you just need a good way to completely seal the pan so that no water can make its way into the pan. I've heard of someone who got a 2 gallon ziploc bag and put the entire spring form pan into it before cooking. It seemed like it might be kinda difficult but it could be an option if you really want to try it.Hope I could be of some help.

That's a great alternative to regular flour that adds some extra flavor.

Interesting. I've never looked into vegetarian cheesecake but this is good to know for anyone looking or if I ever need to make one in the future. Maybe if I have some time in the future, or if anyone else wanted to, I'll make another instructable on doing variations on vegetarian cheesecake.

Very nice build. I imagine you would have some trouble if there was any significant weight difference between the two riders. That could always be overcome by making it a tricycle and having two wheels in the back. Side note, I was looking to find a tricycle style side by side tandem that I had growing up when I stumbled on this page, 1910 side-by side, which shows a very similar style bike to yours but was first made around 1910.

This is the style of side by side tandem I grew up on, just a different color.

That's good to know. I have been tossing around the idea of eventually making some steak knives and it's good to know I don't need to sharpen the whole serrated area.

Nice job. I really like the copper and dark wood handle. How do these cut with just the edge being sharpened? I was always under the impression that serrated edges would need to be sharpened through the whole serrated part.

This is really neat. I'm also surprised you made this by hand. Are you using mild steel for this? I would think that the jaws of the wrench would deform easily at that thickness. If you used a steel that could be hardened I would think it would last longer.

That shelving unit looks nice. Are the shelves attached in any way to the pipes? I would be afraid that you could bump it and a shelf could fall off of the pipe. Don't want all those cameras falling off and potentially breaking.

Do you know if there could be a problem with heat issues with placing the plexiglass that close to the LED's? It looks like it could trap the heat in there. I know the aluminum plate takes a lot of the heat away but I made a LED panel with them mounted on a aluminum plate but the front of the LED's get pretty warm after running for a long time. I want to add a plexigalss cover as well but am afraid it could trap in heat and cause problems. If yours stays cool then it will give me confidence with adding it to mine.

Nicely done. I see we both had a similar idea for a pocket sized kiridashi. You did a really good job getting that mirror finish. I usually don't do it becuase I don't prefer the look but also because I'm not very good or patient enough to get it as perfect as I would like.
